On November 10, 2020, CSO Rainer Hoffmann of Shanghai Digauto Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., attended the 2020 International Automotive Safety and Testing Conference in Anting, Shanghai.

The conference was jointly organized by the International Society of Automotive Engineers and Shanghai International Automobile City in Anting. There were four sub-forums: Intelligent Driving Safety Technology, Electric Vehicle Power Battery Safety under Mechanical Load Conditions, Information Network Safety, and Safety of Automated Driving Functions and SOTIF. Dozens of experts and leaders from Tongji University, Tsinghua University, University of North Carolina, Carnegie Mellon University, FAW, SAIC, General Motors, Jiangling Motors, Geely, NIO, Continental Automotive Electronics, Bosch, Aptiv, Freetech, Didi, etc., expressed their views on related topics,sharing a feast of cutting-edge technologies and ideas for the attendees.

At the conference, Mr. Rainer Hoffmann presented his viewpoint on ADAS testing: "Are 240 million test kilometers enough to ensure the security of autonomous vehicles?" How can we achieve the future security goals and meet the complex testing scenarios?

Mr. Rainerr Hoffmann introduced VTEHIL, a novel Technology for assessing the Safety Performance of full Vehicles in ADAS and ADS Scenarios, enabling highly repeatable, efficient, safety and reliable indoor ADAS/Autonomous Driving Vehicle testing, single or group target testing, simulation of all traffic and environmental conditions, and moving lane markings, etc... ...

The future automobile will become more and more complex, and the boundaries of automotive safety will go far beyond the traditional scope,". Especially with the increase of software codes for electronic components, safety designers will not only have to deal with the traditional mechanical component failures of vehicles, but also face a series of challenges brought about by electronic component failures and software errors. Therefore, the design of a safe and reliable electric intelligent vehicle, but also consider the safety of battery, functional, expected functional, information and other factors, and all this requires the wisdom of the whole industry to face togetherall." said Bingliang Xu, general manager of SAE International China.

Although the conference only lasted for two days, the atmosphere was warm, and many guests said that the conference had built a professional, segmented, theoretical and applied industry frontier exchange platform, which helped to promote the steady upgrading and prosperous development of the transformation of the automotive industry.
